Our Story

The idea for our cohousing community in Newfoundland began in 2016, with a group of friends who wanted to live differently. In late 2020, we started building our membership and dove into planning our community vision, our community plans, and strengthening our team relationships. Within a few short years, we are getting close to seeing our vision come to life!

Our Vision

We strive to be a diverse, multi-generational cohousing community located in a rural setting that offers affordable access to healthy homes, nature, and agricultural land.

We will intentionally create spaces and programming that fosters community and offers opportunities to connect with neighbours. This emphasis on common spaces will allow for smaller private home footprints.

We strive to increase the quality of life of those living here by:

  • creating a community that promotes an active lifestyle in all four seasons;
  • enabling access to fresh produce and animal husbandry;
  • decreasing reliance on traditional fuel and electricity sources through reduced vehicle reliance and an effort towards sustainable technologies and off-grid living (as far as we can within our budget);
  • enabling the sharing culture of tools, appliances, equipment, skills, etc; and
  • enabling aging in community by ensuring universal design.
We will utilize governance and decision-making tools that ensures all members have an equal and fair opportunity to determine the management and design of our community.
